When it comes to living in Miami, the combination of luxury living and active lifestyles is a major draw. One sport rapidly gaining popularity among both young professionals and retirees alike is pickleball. This fun and engaging sport combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, making it accessible for all ages and skill levels. For those looking to integrate their passion for pickleball into their daily lives, choosing a condo building with dedicated pickleball courts can be a game-changer. In this blog post, we’ll explore the top condo buildings in Miami that offer residents the chance to enjoy pickleball right at their doorstep.
Brickell Bay Club
It’s hard to find unequivocal ‘all-in-one packages’ in real estate. Brickell Bay Club is one of those few rare gems that truly deliver everything buyers want and more. Soaring 31 stories high beside Miami South Channel, this stunning building has been a part of the local condo market since 1974. That’s when architect John Forte of F.U.R., Inc. put his finishing touches on the 452 individual suites inside. The floor plans are unusually spacious, starting at a bare minimum of 930 square feet and topping out at 6,890 square feet. All that room is given justice with natural lighting through massive floor-to-ceiling windows. Most units have balconies, in addition to other perks like stainless-steel appliances, walk-in closets, and solid wood cabinetry. Whether the owner of a one-bedroom or three-bedroom home, all residents share equal access to on-site luxuries like valet service, a heated Olympic-sized pool, a BBQ area, a fitness center, a steam room, a beauty salon, and a sundry shop. That’s in addition to several spaces dedicated to the very best paddle sports – pickleball, racquetball, and tennis.
Rose at Wynwood
Miami condo buyers are a diverse bunch, made up of individuals, couples, and families with their own interests and priorities. Yet all seem to love Rose at Wynwood – probably because it has everything anyone could ask for in a condo. The complex is located at 3223 NW 5th Avenue in its namesake district of the city. There’s a total of 140 individual residences to consider inside, which range in size from small studios to large three-bedroom flats. Common characteristics between units include nine-foot-high ceilings, gourmet kitchens with European-style appliances, custom vanities, built-out closets, smart home systems, finished floors, and open balconies. But that’s nothing compared to the amenities Rose at Wynwood has to offer – several pickleball courts, yes, but also a massive fitness and wellness facility, an event hall, a swimming pool, a running track, and a lush green promenade.
Towers of Quayside
PSA to non-locals: the ‘Quay’ in Towers of Quayside is pronounced ‘key,’ like what you’ll want after hearing about all that this luxurious Miami condo has to offer. It was built in 1981 upon 34 lush acres of land just North of the Biscayne Canal. One-bedroom to five-bedroom accommodations can be found across four towers, which together, boast features like gourmet kitchens with granite countertops, Italian cabinets, expansive terraces, walk-in closets, and luxurious marble floors. The rest of the complex is best described as a resort because that’s the only other kind of place you’d find this many amenities. Towers of Quayside is home to multiple residents-only pools, a bar and grill, a big gazebo, a spa, a fitness center, a private marina, a restaurant, a children’s playground, and a pet-friendly park. If that’s not enough, there are also eight tennis courts, racquetball courts, and pickleball courts on the grounds as well.
Neo Vertika
New York meets Miami in this upscale condo building north of the city’s core. Built in 2006, Neo Vertika has long been at the top of local buyers’ lists since the very beginning. And for good reason. The 36-story tower’s 452 units, which range from one-bedroom suites to three-bedroom penthouses, are nothing short of spectacular. Picture high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances, fine cabinetry, spacious balconies, and designer fixtures in as much as 1,387 square feet of space. The shared spaces are just as impressive – a pool, a spa, a party room, a business center, a parlor room, a gym, a dojo, a bar, a dog park, and multiple courts for pickle and racquetballing.
Grove Hill Tower
Miami’s Grove Hill Tower at 2645 S Bayshore Drive is above average in several respects. The first is space. The 22 stories in this building have been divvied up into only 75 units, each offering between 1,910 square feet and 2,240 square feet of living area. Bay and city skyline views serve as a backdrop to Architects Bermello, Ajamill and Partners’ meticulous work both inside and out. While many owners have opted to renovate their suites since the building was completed in 1996, many maintain original features such as hardwood and tile floors, double vanities, and walk-in closets. Attached balconies provide the perfect spot to soak up the Florida sunshine and take in the views. Residents also have access to a number of on-site amenities, including a lap swimming pool, a fitness center, tennis courts, a club room, a business center, valet parking, and of course, pickleball and tennis courts.
